Jackson is 1!!!!

It's Jackson's birthday today, and he is 1 year old! Yesterday was Sunday and since my mom left for Missouri this morning, we celebrated a little last night!
First up chocolate cake!!!















Funny story: we put a single candle on the cake and sang to him, and I helped blow out the candle. As soon as the flame was out he got terrified and ran away. I guess the action of blowing out the candle terrifies him, because I did it again later and he ran away crying.

Anyways he also got to open a present:) that was fun! I didn't get a picture, but you get the idea!
All in all, it was a pretty good day!!! I can't believe my baby is one today! Seems like just yesterday he came home from the hospital with me! I love him so much:)

Candy canes

As you can see from my previous post, Jackson did not like Santa Clause. In fact he was terrified! The only thing that made it better was that Santa gave him a candy cane:) he's never seen or eaten a candy cane before, but he knew it was candy!!! He tried to devour it through the wrapper, and when I showed him how to take the wrapper off, there was no going back. He was covered in peppermint slobber! He loves them.
So I guess it's no surprise that he would try to take the fake candy canes off our Christmas tree and try to eat them! he gets mad when I take them away because they are plastic and he gets sad. I keep telling him they are fake, but he just wants one so bad he keeps going back for more:)
Anyway that's my story for today, hope it makes you smile:)

Oh and P.S.--Jackson turns one in exactly one week!!! December 13th is going to be a dream come true for my little man! Presents and cake! Who can refuse that?!

Friday recap:)

Last night me and Danny put up the Christmas tree!!!! Yay



Then after Danny got off work this evening we went to our ward Christmas party!
Danny sat on Santa's lap



And got candy....



Jackson had a hard time...



He thought Santa was so scary! poor thing:(
Other than Jax being sad about Santa, we had a pretty sweet time! Now Jax is sound asleep, and I'm playing games:)

The rest

Turkey is delicious! Here's proof:



Our dinner came out super yummy! I was super proud of us! We also had yummy drinks:



Calm down people! that's sparkling apple cider, silly!
And of course I had to share some with Jax:



He was in heaven:):) also notice he's naked...That's because the first glass he dumped all over his clothes!
Jackson loved turkey dinner and had 3 helpings of everything:) such a hood baby! It was the best family dinner we've ever sat down to as a family!
After our tummies settled a bit we had some pumpkin pie:)



Doesn't that look heavenly?

Then we gave Jack Jack a bath and he was really having a good time:












Then I had another drink, and read the black Friday ads...



Then shared with Danny



Hee hee...


Yummo!!! That was our night, in a nutshell:)

Happy thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is here! Turkeys in the oven, pumpkin pie is baked and all the deliciousness is about to be ready!
Now for some pics of Jax from this morning!









And I also got some action shots of him walking!!!









Also he loves bringing me frying pans!! Love that little man!! More pics to come:)

Eating cupcakes!

Jax got his first cupcake today:












Frosting nose:)





He love cupcakes!!! Especially red velvet ones.

California Pizza Kitchen

My sister is here in town visiting for the weekend, and we just had to go to CPK, considering she'd never eaten at the restaurant before. She's eaten their frozen pizzas at the grocery store, but eating it fresh is very different!
This was our night. I will tell the story with pics:


Danny and Jax sharing pizza:)


Yummy!!


Jax keeping occupied playing with silverware:)





Too cute!


Smile!!


More silverware


Drinking soda from a straw!!

We had a great time, and the pizza was delicious! It was fun! Jack needed some distracting...but all in all it was lots of fun!



The end:):)

Tuesday

This was taken this morning in our bed. He had gotten tired and wanted to take a nap, but I was all snuggly and warm in my covers, so I wasn't moving! So he crashed on our bed. After a few minutes of being asleep, he sprawled into this position!! His head was right in Danny's armpit and his feet were slowly pushing me off the bed! Little stinker. But he's my angel so I can't be too mad. After that he managed too....



Read the paper.....



Play with my tennis shoe...



Read a book...



And bring me a frying pan!

Oh and did I mention it's snowing...



Yup!! And me and Jax went outside to dance around in it...



And he got snowflakes that stayed on his nose and eyelashes:)
These are a few of my favorite things:)
And Jackson managed to accomplish them all in about 5 hours!!

Favorite time of day

Bet you can't guess what Jackson's favorite time of day is!!
Here's a clue:





It's not when daddy gets home from work, although that's probably a close second.



It's bath time!!!
Jackson loves bath time! He always has so much fun:)
Here's proof:

































He takes after his mommy, cuz I like taking baths too:) it's fun
